Application of Aluminothermic Welding of Rails on Crane Rails

Exothermic welding was founded at the end of the 19th century when H. Goldschmidt discovered aluminum powder and metal oxides can be caused by an external heat source to start an exothermic reaction, and once the reaction can continue by itself, the general formula of this reaction is:

metal oxide + aluminum (powder) → alumina + metal + thermal energy

Exothermic welding can mainly weld such as pure copper, brass, bronze, red copper, copper-clad steel, pure iron, stainless steel, wrought iron, galvanized steel, cast iron, etc.

 

Aluminothermic Welding of Rails on Crane Rails

 

Today, let's discuss the application of aluminothermic welding on crane rails.

 

Usefully, The crane is a double-girder structure, the crane rails run on the tracks of the main girder bridge. The rails of the main beams designed in China are generally mechanically in segmented and gaped connection, In the other words, they are ground or processed at the interface according to the length of the supply, they are formed by close joints.

The rail welding method, until now, there are mainly adopted gas pressure welding, contact resistance welding, manual arc welding, and aluminothermic welding. 

A few days ago, one of my customers from Malaysia ask us to support technology to upgrade the arc welding machine. Actually, arc welding quality is unstable, the serious defect such as slag and porosity can directly cause a break of welded rail. That’s why the Chinese market directly eliminates the welding method of arc welding.

Aluminothermic welding is applied to mine cranes and gantry tracks in various factories. The crane rails such as QU70, QU80, QU100, QU120, A100, A120, CR73, etc.

This aluminothermic welding process is characterized by simple equipment, convenient operation, high efficiency, good adaptability to working conditions, and stable quality. The fact that the welded railhead does not need to be treated, and the quality control of the entire welding process is performed by the fixed parameters of preheating time, oxygen flow, and liquefied gas pressure, which is easy for operators, will not be affected by other factors. The whole welding process of a single railhead is around 1 hour, which saves time and labor compared with other welding methods.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ELECTRIC BIKE LCD DISPLAY

图片
An  e-bike display   serves an important purpose. Even if the motor is the element that defines an electric bike the most, the E-bike display is an extra feature that underlines the benefits of the integrated technology that distinguishes the machine. The E-bike display monitors the values of all essential parameters that you must be aware of when riding. Most people have only seen an e-bike speedometer. The electricity meter, which shows the instantaneous power output, the pedal assist, the battery capacity, USB charging, and so on, is one example. This article will go over the features and functionalities of E-bike displays.   Capacity of the battery The battery life is displayed at the very top of the screen. Because it is critical in calculating the amount of charge remaining after riding. Riders of electric bikes can use their remaining battery power to assess how far they have cycled. The fading line from left to right indicates battery drain. While cycling, the bat...

THE BEST USE OF LED VANITY MIRRORS

图片
The lighting capability of  LED Mirrors  is almost similar to natural lights. This mirror serves the dual purpose of making a place look beautiful and assistance in self-grooming to people. However, they are more acknowledged for decorating the place. They give a clear vision and are feasible to view yourself than any other form of lighting. They are not only used at homes but in offices, hotels, and boutiques. These mirrors are brilliant to uplift the aura of the place. They provide a classy environment with high energy efficiency. The environmentally friendly characteristic makes them extremely desirable.    WHAT IS AN LED MIRROR? An LED mirror in simple terms is a mirror with the addition of LED bulbs. This could be anything from strip lights around the side of the mirror to create a ‘back-lit’ effect or bulbs straight on the front to create a vintage vanity LED mirror style.  LED mirrors come in all shapes, sizes and styles...

Benefits of Dumbbell Training

图片
  Dumbbell training offers numerous benefits for individuals looking to improve their strength, fitness, and overall well-being. Here are some of the key advantages: Increased Muscle Strength: Dumbbell exercises allow for isolated muscle training, helping to build strength in specific muscle groups. This is particularly beneficial for targeting weak points or imbalances in the body. Improved Muscle Symmetry: By working each side of the body independently,  Hexagon Rubber Dumbbell  training helps improve muscle balance and symmetry. This can reduce the risk of injury and enhance overall aesthetics. Enhanced Range of Motion: Dumbbell exercises often require greater joint mobility and stabilization than barbell or machine exercises. This can help improve flexibility and functional movement patterns. Versatility: Dumbbells offer a wide range of exercise options. You can use them for various exercises, including squats, lunges, presses, curls, and more, making it easy to desig...
